Iron Mistress let me go
Just a day an hour or so
To touch the dreams I'll never know
With your cold arms around me.
But do I want my liberty
Out here on the shoreless sea
I've even loved your jealousy
Straight from the day you bound me.
Iron Mistress let me sleep
Between the watches I must keep
Let me know some other deep
Than the stars to which you've thrown me.
Your silent mercies ill-defined
Lock me up inside my mind
Cut me off from my own kind
Such is the love you've shown me.
Queen of Darkness more than fair
For your lover do you care
No human rival will you bear
Sometimes allow a brother.
Iron Lady, Queen of Strife
Your my only home and wife
I know I'm bound to you for life
Nor would I have another.
